background and personality:
There aren't that many dwarves in the Blight, and most of them are clanless. Kuldra was one such. A native, she always felt a connection to the old culture. So she learned what she could as she grew. Scouring old books and sagas, she studied the old ways. The weapons and armor, the history and ways.
As she grew, she was fascinated by the art of crystal carving. She began to practice it and felt something within. She found herself growing crystals by will alone. Over time, she could make weapons and eventually armor. Bolts of crystal were her weapons.
But in the Blight, one couldn't make a living at crystal carving. She wanted a better life, so she began taking jobs as a mercenary. Her talent with weapons and the added bonus of her magic made her successful. From there, she began travelling with adventuring groups. Recently, she went down into a tomb with a group to find the source of the undead that haunted the undercity.
Despite this, she doesn't think of herself as an "adventurer". she does this in hopes of being able to have a good life beyond this.
Party role:
Kuldra is primarily a melee beatstick. Heavy armor and a heavy weapon. Her crystal gives her a little bit of battlefield control by entangling and adding difficult terrain.
In the social scenes, she's a support. She's excellent in the perceptive side of things and not too bad on the active side. She can dismiss her armor and weapons and change her clothes magically. This allows her to fit in to many scenes that plate mail is a bit imposing in.
